I noticed when travelling in the South, Kentucky particularly, that to pay at the pump you needed to input a zip code besides swiping the credit card. I heard there is a work around with this. What do you know about this?

Stupidest thing I ever run into! If we did this in Canada, I'm sure our US neighbors would have kittens, trying to get their zip code in. And I wouldn't blame them! We have to go inside, leave our card with attendant, pump our gas, and go in and get our credit card back. How secure is that? The card sits on the counter for everyone to see! NOt a good system, but when they have something you need, what do you do?

Well, let me just guess that you don't know what you are talking about. The requirement to enter the zip code is a security measure. If the zip code doesn't match the zip code used to obtain the credit card you won't be getting any gas.

BP's here require it, and it is the billing zip or rejected, since the keypad only has digits, and Canada's postal codes use an alphanumeric system (i.e.; 1A1 A1A), I'm not sure what can be done. The BP keypads are just a numberboard, not like the phone where 2 is ABC, 3 is DEF, etc...
